Murong Xue thought of something and couldn't help but sneer on her face.
Yes, the opinions of the disciples are nothing, even though this time the selection of the Saint even allowed the disciples to participate in choosing the Saint in their minds.
But in fact, the most critical factor is still in the hands of the top leaders of Wanhua Holy Land. Even if all the disciples of Wanhua Holy Land voted together, it would only be enough to get 100,000 votes, so the final decision-making power still lies with the top leaders of Wanhua Holy Land.
Thinking of this, Murong Xue couldn't help but have a look of hope in her eyes for her father Murong Huang. Murong Huang naturally knew what Murong Xue was thinking, so he coughed before speaking righteously.
"Quiet!"
As Emperor Murong spoke, the disciples of the Wanhua Holy Land present finally quieted down and looked at Emperor Murong.
Emperor Murong said without hesitation.
"Everyone, disciples of our Wanhua Holy Land always need to get the approval of the high-level officials of our Wanhua Holy Land before they can get married, especially the saints. But now Su Qiaoran rashly married a strange man, which has violated the rules of our Wanhua Holy Land."
"Therefore, I declare that Su Qiaoran's position as the Saint will be abolished this time, and the next best person, Murong Xue, will take her place!"
Hearing her father's words, Murong Xue felt excited and looked at Su Qiaoran with eyes full of pride and provocation.
But at this moment, the great elder spoke.
"Holy Lord, this seems a little inappropriate. Qiao Ran is the most powerful genius in the history of our Wanhua Holy Land. He has reached the peak of the Great Sage before he was a hundred years old. I think we should give Qiao Ran some leniency."
"That's right, Holy Lord. Besides, we still don't know who Qiao Ran's Taoist partner is. If he is also a genius, I think we can give Qiao Ran a chance to continue to be the Holy Maiden of my Wanhua Holy Land."
The second elder also spoke, and after the first and second elders spoke, the third and fourth elders also spoke.

"Yes, it is too unfair to dethrone Qiao Ran just because of this one thing."
"I feel the same way. We must give Qiao Ran a chance."
Upon hearing that the four guardian elders had all stood up, a trace of anger flashed across Emperor Murong's face. It was obvious that he had not expected that a mere Su Qiaoran would cause the four guardian elders to stand up.
To know what a Dharma Protector Elder is, one's cultivation must reach the Quasi-Emperor Late Stage level to be called a Dharma Protector Elder.
In the Wanhua Holy Land, or in all the holy lands, only the Holy King Realm can become an outer sect elder, only the Supreme Realm can become an inner sect elder, and only those above the Quasi-Emperor Late Stage can become guardian elders.
Among them, except for the first elder and the second elder, the other three elders are all at the late stage of quasi-emperor, while the first elder and the second elder are at the peak stage of quasi-emperor.
After the five guardian elders, only the fifth elder was Murong Huang's man, so after seeing the first elder and others standing up, the fifth elder came to Murong Huang without hesitation and spoke.
"Everyone, we have been colleagues for so long, you should all know that the sect rules cannot be changed.
Our Wanhua Holy Land has been able to remain strong for so many years because of the sect rules.
I admit that Su Qiaoran's talent is indeed the most powerful saint in the history of our Wanhua Holy Land, but we cannot set this precedent for Su Qiaoran."
"If the sect rules are changed at will, where will the dignity of our Wanhua Holy Land be?"
"Besides, Murong Xue's talent is only slightly worse than Su Qiaoran's. Letting Murong Xue become a saint is not a loss of face for our Wanhua Holy Land. As for Su Qiaoran, our Wanhua Holy Land will not punish her for her mistakes, but we will not let her become a saint either."
"I think this is the best solution at the moment."
Upon hearing the Fifth Elder's words, the Second Elder immediately started cursing.
"Get lost, how can this be compared? Qiao Ran and Murong Xue are of the same age, but one is at the peak of the Great Sage, and the other is at the peak of the Saint.
There is no comparison at all.
If it were normal times, I would definitely not say anything, but now they are going to kill a good seedling, can I just sit back and watch? Anyway, I'm going to say this today.
If Su Qiao Ran is not a Saint, then it's better not to stay in the Wanhua Holy Land!"
As the Second Elder finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. They had not expected that the Second Elder would go to such an extent for Su Qiaoran.

When Emperor Murong heard this, his expression changed slightly and he spoke gloomily.
"Second Elder, if you take back your words now, I can still pretend that I didn't hear you. What do you think our Wanhua Holy Land is?"
Before the second elder could speak, the first elder comforted the second elder and then spoke.
"Holy Lord, your treatment of Su Qiaoran is really inappropriate. If Qiaoran's talent was ordinary, we would definitely not say anything, but even if you are Holy Lord, you are only at the Saint level at Qiaoran's age."
"And with Qiaoran's talent, it is not impossible for him to lead our Wanhua Holy Land to a new peak, so my suggestion is to deal with him leniently.
As for that Taoist partner, we can kill him, but the most important thing is to let Su Qiaoran continue to be a disciple of our Wanhua Holy Land willingly."
The moment the Great Elder finished speaking, he inexplicably felt a chill for some reason, but he soon stopped caring about it. He was at the peak of Quasi-Emperor level. In the entire Profound Heaven World, who else could hurt him except the Saint Lord-level figures? It was just an illusion.
After hearing what the Great Elder and others said, Emperor Murong couldn't help but ponder for a while before he spoke.
"If that's the case, then we can only let Su Qiaoran become my direct disciple. As for the position of Saint, Su Qiaoran can no longer take on the position. If that's the case, then let Murong Xue become the new Saint."
Although the Great Elder and others were a little hesitant about Emperor Murong's decision, they did not reject it. After all, what they wanted was for Su Qiaoran to be able to work for their Wanhua Holy Land.
If a genius of this level could grow up, then their Wanhua Holy Land would be able to surpass the other three holy lands and become the strongest force in Profound Heaven World.
Of course, they just don't know how powerful the Wu Chamber of Commerce is, otherwise they wouldn't dare to have such a strange idea.
After making the decision, Emperor Murong turned around and looked at the people present, staring at Su Qiaoran and spoke.
"Now, after discussions between this Saint Lord and the elders, we all agree that Su Qiaoran is no longer suitable to be a Saint, so we have decided to let Murong Xue be the Saint."
"As for Su Qiaoran, after making a decision, this Saint Lord has decided to accept her as his personal disciple. I wonder if you are willing, Su Qiaoran?"
